He's a little long in the tooth to be pushing for a 'Logan's Run' style genocidal society.

Yesterday a video of a Manchester, New Hampshire Committee meeting was posted to YouTube. The meeting took place on May 24th but there was extremely disturbing and interesting commentary made by a Manchester Alderman. Apparently, the topic was property taxes and tax credits for the elderly. The meeting was a Joint Committee Meeting on Education. Education being the largest chunk of expense for any property taxes.

"I’ve got an 85 year old woman that lives across the street, and, and she won’t give up her house, she’s sitting on $350,000 dollars and she can’t afford it anymore and you’re saying (pointing to Alderwoman Shaw) give her a tax credit….NO, we should have a program that GETS HER OUT OF THE HOUSE….. I mean, we need to get new people to come in and, and, ‘occupy’ those houses. We can’t be run by the elderly in a city…that, that, that’s foolishness."

Living in NYC means you never have to say ‘excuse me’ or ‘thank you’ or hold the door for someone.
Many, myself included, predict that this kind of thing will become more common with each passing year.
Gen X missed much of their prime earning years and will probably have to work for as long as they possibly can.
Gen Y has not gotten off to a good start and will find themselves increasingly behind the curve though they will be well employed since there are so few of Gen X and so many boomer jobs to backfill.
The Boomers have not fared well in general with the “new” pension plan of the 401K and so the problem will probably self-remedy though the Boomers represent a large voting block and will hold out as long as they can by such tax incentives.
Gen X and Y will be wanting Boomers dead before it is all over.
The scene from Dr Zhivago comes to mind.
They had the opportunity to have a public education when they were younger, in exchange they get the opportunity to support the public schools for the rest of their lives.
Old people still have in interest in the public schools because they are still eligible to vote for school elections.
Schools need to realize their “stakeholders” are not the kids or the parents, but a more inclusive group called the general public. Old people as part of the general public still have their responsibilities.
I have heard liberals say that a single person “shouldn’t be allowed” to have that much house (of course, when you mention that Politician X, Movie Star Y or Sports Player Z have sprawling mansions and grounds, that is usually met with a shake of the head or an eye roll).
Sadly, I have heard people with otherwise conservative values say things like “you don’t need that much house” which shows the dangerous slope this is on.
So like you said, first you eliminate the young, then you eliminate the old. The next step --- inevitably --- is a handy cost-cutter called euthanasia.
It won't be called euthanasia.
Like abortion, it will be called "choice."
First the choice. Then the nudge. Then the push turns to shove.
Mark my words.
Indigent elderly who built your world.
Did the good Alderman ever get around to clearly stating who should be running the city?
Regards,
that was meant to be the ObamaCare death panels.......
There are LOTS and LOTS of elderly people in soviet Red Hampshire...thanks to high taxes; they can’t afford to move away. Many continue to vote democrat, because Roosevelt was the most awesome president EVER!
....illegals and muslim refugee’s of course.
Disgusting
Pogroms against the elderly. Yeah that’s right up the Democrats alley.
He's a little long in the tooth to be pushing for a 'Logan's Run' style genocidal society.
This is a real display of how Democrats view other people’s money.
It’s their money for their purposes.
And let’s not forget good old Ezekiel Emanuel’s comment with respect to health care. “Seventy-five is old enough, you’ve had enough of a life, time to go because you cost too much to keep alive!”
They already have a program to get her out of her house...it’s called taxes.
While on the one hand it’s inappropriate to give this woman a tax break without extending that to other tax payers. On the other hand, why is it that taxes are so high that this woman needs a tax break to be able to stay in her home?
It’s not the failing infrastructure that you are spending money on....it’s illegals, welfare, and medicaid where you are throwing the taxpayers money.
So Mr. Stupid DemocRAT, you are essentailly a thief.
